Description
Hapicit 20 mg is a prescription medication used in treating depression and panic disorders. It contains Citalopram (Citalopram HBr). It is a type of medication known as SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor).
Serotonin is a naturally occurring chemical found in the brain. It controls your mood. At times, the brain soaks the chemical back too quickly. Hapicit 20 mg tablet slows down this process. As a result,
the levels of the chemical increase in the brain.Analogy: Imagine serotonin as a chemical containing happiness in the brain. When your brain soaks up this chemical too fast, you end up feeling depressed or worried. Hapicit works like a dam in your brain that blocks the absorption of the chemical in order to regulate your mood.
